Addiction. They say that in the past years the tobacco companies had added more nicotine so its harder for you to quit. There are the nicotine gum; patches; hypnosis; accupunture; pills, medication but too many people say the cigarette helps them cope and relax when they are uptight. Stress is one of the reasons people use also. They try to quit for awhile then return to smoking. Nonsmokers are sometimes the bitchiest people when they quit and hate the smoke.I know it riuns your health and you could die from it. The price on cigs are sky high too. They have made it difficult for the smokers in restaurants,bars, parks and anywhere posted within so many feet. Also if you were to be hired on some jobs if you smoked they would`nt hire you because of their medical plans. Drivers insurance goes higher if you smoke and so do life insurance go high. Drs tell you to quit and no one will listen. Wifes, husbands and children will worry about your smoking. A good friend of mine smoked for 50 yrs. She just turned 60 and was diagnosed with lung cancer. They took half of her lung. Whether they got it all we really don`t know. Her grandchildren ages 7 and 11 went to school crying saying my grandmas got cancer to the teachers. It took that to make myself quit cold turkey and that was in March 2006. Everything i reached for a cig i had a lifesaver candy or tootsie roll pop and lots of hard candy. I had myself smoked since i was 11 yrs old until i quit in March 2006of06, It gets easier week by week and now i can say i don`t want a cig. Hope this helps someone out there to think about smoking..I will never preach to a smoker as i was one too!

I believe that most smokers began when they were in a vulnerable point in their lives. It is well known that it is an addiction, a drug, but only one that you serum to in situations that are needed to be filled with a feeling or action (fulfillment, loneliness,escape, acceptance etc...) For some I think that if you are able to confront where you were at in your life and remember the first cigarette you ever picked up you can flash back and wonder if it was because you saw your parents smoke that you thought some how it was ok, or that maybe you were in a situation in which you thought that it was good for acceptance or even trying to find out who you were or wanted to be. At some time in your life you thought it was ok. Now that you know it is not, is the time to reflect and think, wonder and know. After this and only when you feel it is important to quit is when you can face it with your mind and not your body. Your body is cleansed after just a few days but the mind is always thinking of it. Coax yourself and ALWAYS at any time try to turn negative thoughts to positive ones. The mind is truly powerful, but it is only when the poison of bad feelings and thoughts are confronted and beat, is when you can heal your self even from "bad habits".

Smokers won't like this, but if you want to help them quit have cigarette smoke declared as a EPA regulated emission. Then, you can force the cigarette companies to design cigarettes forcing the smoker to inhale all of the smoke. It wouldn't take long after that.

Same reason people eat more than they have too, same reason they have relationships that aren't good for them , same reason they drink alchohol , drive gas guzzling cars, live in houses they can't afford, and a million other things.
